      For whatever reason, my nanobsd install never caught the 2.3 upgrade, and now that nanobsd is deprecated I need to look at my upgrade path. I did find an image file for 2.3.2, so I could theoretically go to that, and then follow the upgrade instructions from there; however, I was wondering whether it would be feasible to do this instead:

      • Export my config to USB (along with other stuff like certificates) from 2.2.6 nanobsd

      • Swap out my current 8GB SSD for a cheap (and vastly under-provisioned) 60GB SSD

      • Do a clean install of pfSense 2.4

      • Import config into 2.4 as well as certs and other supporting files

      Does anyone know if this can be done, and if there are any caveats?

        You should just be able to backup the config, install clean and restore the config.

          Awesome, thanks! Wasn't sure if there might be any incompatibilities or caveats importing a config from an older version of the nano distro into the current/full distro.
